The road took us to more desert view, jagged mountains and the cities of Deming and Las Cruces passing by.We arrive to our destination of White Sands National Monument, which is inside the area of White Sands Missile Range. This attraction begins at the gift shop and museum which has a snack area. This snack area had a very long line and I was interested in knowing why this was so. They weren't buying hot days but round sleds to play in the sand.
After checking this area out we opted to take the driving tour around the dunes. We made several stops to take pictures, look at people playing and for me to climb a dune. It was a strange and cold sensation to sink into the sand.
The view was spectacular, all miles and miles of white sand. It looked like snow. I guess this is the area for family entertainment, like our beaches.
